WORK OF THE COMMITTEES.
LEGAL AFFAIRS.


A hearing was given last evening on the
order and petitions relating to taxation of
property income of educational, religious and
charitable institutions. No one appeared for
the petitioners and the only opposition was
that OF Col. F. M. Drew of Lewiston who
spoke for Bates College. He said it would
hamper the institution very much to enact a
law by which it would be taxed. 1t would
be necessary to reduce the salaries of the
professors and make other curtaiments
which would be very injurious to the welfar e
of the college. DR.. G.rrish of Portland
came before the committee and advocated a
law to take the life of criminals in capital
cases BY injecting morphine. He reviewed
the hang methods, both ancient and modern,
which had been employed Ito execute crimi-
nails, some of which were of the most revolt
ing character. Hanging was a barbarous
procile. Frequently the rope would break,
or the victim of the moose would die horri-
Bile and prolonged death of stranRulation.
With morphine death would be comparatively
easy and the public mind would not be ex-
cited.
